Weekend and Evening games getting tougher?

[WaffleCone]

Anyone else finding weekends and evenings are changing gamewise?

They used to be a bit softer and now it seems like the player pool is changing, the schedule is reducing a lot more games during those times. Anyone have any feedback on this?

strong poker squads play during the day and live poker in the evening, poker is played by a lot of amateurs who come after work to play their favorite game, so tournaments make sure that the structure of the games in the evening is more than during the day there are few prize money and players

I find it difficult to make such broad statements with so many different sites and games available. And unless its a geo-limited site like pokerstars Italy or GG Poker Ontario, what is evening for some players will be morning or lunchtime for others, depending what time zone people are playing from.

It's just us nerds that play poker on weekends now.

During the boom everyone and their grandmother played.. and they played drunk.

Yes , this is normal .
In summer time I see a lot of people are missing from tables, also lower amount of players in evenings

Yep. As the weather improves, people want to be outside socializing, not sat inside clicking buttons. The regs and the pros are still playing though, so the average ability increases significantly.

Honestly I have found that weekends tend to be a lot softer than weekdays I think that's because most of the people who really are just playing for the fun of it are less likely to play during the work week, I think this is the same reasoning behind how a tournament could have 200 people Monday through Thursday but suddenly have 500 on Friday Saturday.
